The Domestic Violence Consortium (DVC), Vanissar Tarakali, Asian Women's Shelter, the Survivor Restoration Program & Community United Against Violence (CUAV) are delighted to bring Laura van Dernoot Lipsky’s Trauma Stewardship workshop to the Bay Area!

Laura’s message to our communities is a fierce and inspiring wake up call. She is the acclaimed author of Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others (www.traumastewardship.com), which addresses the pervasive, hidden or unconscious aspects of vicarious and secondary trauma in a fresh way. Drawing on two de cades of trauma work experience and global wisdom traditions, Laura has developed a holistic approach to transform the cumulative, debilita ting impacts of ongoing trauma exposure on individuals, organizations, and communities. A compassionate and humorous presenter, Laura will share insights and practices to support sustainable social justice/anti-violence work. Trauma Stewardship workshop participants can expect to take away an increased understanding of the importance of self-care and practical tools to sustain the work.
